auksts

== Latvian == === Etymology === Alteration of austs ‘cooled’, past participle of dialectal aũsīt, aũsēt ‘to cool off, down’, ausināt (“to cool off hot food, with a spoon”) (compare Lithuanian áušti (“to cool down”)), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ewǵ- (compare Latin autumnus, Old Irish úacht, Old Armenian ոյծ (oyc)). The -k- may be due to contamination with obsolete aukt (“to be cool, cold”), sporadically attested in 18th-century sources. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈāūkst͡s] === Adjective === aũksts (definite aukstais, comparative aukstāks, superlative visaukstākais, adverb auksti) cold (an object or substance that has a relatively low temperature) auksts roka ― cold hands auksts ūdens ― cold water auksta tēja ― cold tea ēdiens ir jau auksts ― the food is already cold auksts kā ledus ― cold as ice aukstais karš ― the cold war cold (weather, air temperature during a certain period of time) auksts rudens, pavasaris ― a cold autumn/fall, spring auksts rīts ― a cold morning kļūst auksts ― it is getting cold šodien ir ļoti auksts ― today it is very cold associated with the feeling or sensation of cold gājējam kļūst auksti ― the passer-by/pedestrian got cold auksti drebuļi ― cold shivers, chills aukstas trīsas ― a cold thrill man auksts pārskrēja pār visu muguru ― a cold (chill) ran through my spine, back food which is to be eaten cold aukstie ēdieni, uzkodas ― cold food, appetizers aukstais galds ― cold table (= table with cold food) (figuratively) cold (one who does not care about the feelings of others; insensitive, rude) auksts prāta cilvēks ― a cold-minded person (figuratively) cold (of a gesture or behavior typical of an insensitive or rude person) auksts skatiens, smaids ― a cold look, smile auksta uzņemšana ― a cold reception ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== salts vēss, dzestrs, svaigs, spirgts ==== Antonyms ==== karsts silts ==== Derived terms ==== aukstais karš aukstums === References ===
